Clarent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Alliterative Morte Arthure, an alliterative verse work of Arthurian literature, Clarent is one of King Arthur's two magic swords. While Excalibur is a sword of warfare, Clarent is one of peace, used for knighting. It is stolen by the traitor Mordred, who has usurped the throne while Arthur is at war, and it is with this weapon that Arthur receives the fatal blow.
